Eurofins expands its footprint in environment testing with the acquisition of Ana Laboratories, Inc. in the USA.

Eurofins Scientific (EUFI.PA), a global leader in environment testing, announces that it has acquired Ana Laboratories, Inc. (“ANA”), one of the largest laboratory networks specialized in fluid and tribology analyses serving the public mass transit sector in the USA.

Over the last 40 years, ANA has become one of the most trusted laboratory partners for fluid analysis for the transport sector in the country. The company employs 48 staff in 7 laboratories serving 75 of the largest city transit agencies (such as the New York City Transit), several statewide Departments of Transportation including Texas and Connecticut, as well as the largest railway companies nationwide. This acquisition therefore expands Eurofins’ environment testing footprint into industrial fluid analysis in the US. Given ANA’s penetration of the public mass transit sector, Eurofins believes it represents a solid entry platform into industrial oil testing, as well as the wider market for tribology analysis.
